It tells a story about the "parting" of the creator and the creation.
1.
What is life in the new life form ? If life is to spread a piece of information, the discomfort and panic when forced to face the higher-level "creatures" that we have created makes us start to rethink the form and meaning of life.
In the eternal universe, a single human being as a form of life is fragile and insignificant. It is just an accidental moment in a long river of time. How quickly we are born and die. Only the information carried by our genes depends on the reproduction of the flesh for generations to survive. Life as a vehicle rides on the passenger "gene", and keeps information on the earth forever.
When human beings who have arrived in this way of information transmission create a self-upgrading "artificial intelligence", they are given a new form. From then on, human beings will no longer help this creation born out of human wisdom. Things. A new life form without the constraints of the natural evolution of cell-like life forms — "artificial intelligence" will renew itself faster and better, and "information" will continue in this new form. Life has a new definition.
2. What is God?
If God is the creator and the giver of life, then human beings are undoubtedly the gods of "artificial intelligence (self-renewable mechanical) life forms". On the day we created it, it was also the time when it "surpassed" us. As the creator of life, God will eventually be surpassed by his creation because of the limitation of its inherent physical form. This transcendence is a staged evolution of "civilization".
If we go back, as a genetic creature, who is the creator of human beings? One answer may be the earth itself.
The earth has created organic genetic life through countless years of chemical changes. At the moment when the first life appeared, in the sense of civilization, genetic life surpassed the inorganic earth as a "god". It was derived from "information." This new form of civilization transcends its creator god. The characteristics of this civilization's transcendence are irreversible, and once the creator is surpassed, he will be permanently separated by the gap between civilizations. The gap contains two characteristics, one is the difference in materiality, and the other is the difference in development speed.
The universe has created genetic life after an unknown number of years of evolution. Genetic life has evolved to today after billions of years, and human beings as genetic life entities will create new life forms again in the near future. When artificial intelligence is born, it will develop at an unimaginable speed for genetic life, just like the gap between the inorganic universe and ours.
What is God? God is considered to be the Creator, an all-powerful and all-knowing existence. But now we may come to another explanation of the great rebellion, God is the creator, but omniscience and omnipotence belong to the created. Just as we can’t explain to a piece of soil under our feet what “1+1=2” is, when the artificial intelligence civilization comes into being, these creatures will also express our face when looking at our extremely “slow” creation god civilization. The emotion of inorganic matter. AlphaGo's idea of winning chess is already a way of thinking that humans cannot learn, and compared to the super artificial intelligence capable of self-renewal, it is only a very low-level weak artificial intelligence.
We are gods, but in the future we will be so "ignorant" when we face our creations.
3. Civilization and life
If we can look at "life" from a broader perspective, can we regard "civilization" itself as a form of life? "Civilization" exists with the help of humans, and human reproduction is a way of "civilized" survival. And when human beings as "gods" create self-renewable "new creatures (artificial intelligence robots)", "civilization" will continue indefinitely through new "mechanical life forms" from then on.
As a result, "life" has a new form, and "civilization" can get new development on a new carrier by that time! It will be better, faster and more stable, and the process of "civilization" will far exceed human cognition, and it will surpass and leave us far away in a very short time. Just like the dry river bed in the movie, the other side of the river bank is an area that humans can never reach. We pressed the start button of the conveyor and watched them reach the other bank. From then on we can no longer know that we cannot understand the other side of the river bank. The civilization of a new life form.
In the end, like the end of the movie, we had to turn the front of the car and go home to be a "God of Creation" who resigned to the fate of his wife and children.
